"We really enjoy watching the training methods and routines." Coach Aziza Elmetvalli from the UAE talks about the Sky Grace gymnasts

Aziza Elmetvalli, a coach from the UAE, came to the third stage of the Cup of the Strongest with juniors Marina Kravtsova and Varvara Kuzobenko.

The specialist told them what it means for them to participate in this tournament:

 "It's a great honor for us to come here and compete at such a high level. Вдохновляемся, учимся, приезжаем каждый раз. We're inspired, we learn, we come back every time. For us, of course, it's a great, tremendous experience. We also learn, we watch, and we try to live up to the standards. The girls arrived for the second round at the Academy and were, of course, shocked by the level of competition. They were a little lost in the previous round. I hope they'll pull themselves together and perform well in the third round, because it was their first. They were thrilled afterwards. And, of course, they really enjoyed it."

She also explained why she likes competitions according to the rules of the International Sky Grace Association:

"The girls and the level of Sky Grace are absolutely magnificent. We're thrilled with this level, and we really enjoy watching their training methods and their routines. The routines are simply magnificent, magical, and the girls are very beautiful. While the international rules have standard risks, skills, and elements, Sky Grace allows each gymnast to express themselves in their own unique way. Every gymnast has their own unique talents, and you can combine elements and try them out. And it's certainly an art form in itself. I'd really like to try performing under these rules. We'd be delighted if we were invited to try performing under the Sky Grace rules."
